true of tbo First National

now accounts whother of

courtesy and service is ac
corded tbo small depositor
as those in moro fortunate
circumstances
It is our object and wish
to servo the public in finan
cial matters in a manner
that shall be satisfactory
to all old or young rich or

Congressman Norris of the Fifth
district seems to have decided definite
ly against being a candidate for the sen
ate next year That means evidently
that be will return to the fight against
Cannon and Canncnism in the lower
house Local democratic papers hint
of the possibility of republican opposi
tion at the primaries but republican
papers say there will be no contest
against Norri9 in his own party Oc
casionally Mr Norris delivers an ad
dress in his district on Cannonism and
the Remedy That alone seems enough
to maintain his grip out there Lincoln
Journal
There are good men nominated upon
the Republican ticket this year and
they should receive the united support
of the entire party in the county
Wild rumors have been afloat at times
that a general knifing of certain candi
dates will be indulged in by McCookites
but the Inter Ocean trusts that such
reports are unfounded The Republi
cans of that city are generally repre
sented by one or more candidates up
on the ticket and it would certainly be
suicidal upon their part to defeat or
attempt to defeat any one or more
candidates on the ticket this year
As tho balance of power rests entirely
with the country precincts in this coun
ty and such a move would be remem
bered only too well by the balance of
the county in future campaigns The
Republicans of the county should drop
all petty personal spites and go into this
campaign thoroughly united and work
unceasingly for the entire ticket If
there are those in the party so moss
grown and disgruntled that they cannot
do this they should be relegated to the
rear where they belong and where
their whines cannot annoy those who
are laboring for the best interests of the
ticket Bartley Inter Ocean

A man who shares in the honor and
fame of Dr Frederick A Cook dis
coverer of the north pole is James It
Bradley who financed the Cook expe
dition Mr Bradley is also an ex
plorer of much fame and as one of
the most indefatigable hunters of big
game in the world he has had thrill
ing adventures ou every continent In
relating some of his hunting experi
ences recently Mr Bradley said
I will never forget one experience
which 1 had with a rhinoceros I was
going along one day through an open

JOHN R BRADLEY SEATED ON RHINOCEROS
HE KILLED IN AFRICA
of dust from his thick hide that I had
fired too high In a second he had
wheeled and was coming for me like
a locomotive I dashed toward my
gun bearers and snatched from one
my Winchester and with this opened
fire on the rushing beast and in elev
en seconds more or thereabouts had
pumped eleven bullets into him most
of them glancing off from his snout
but one fortunately breaking one of
his knees He is too heavy and
clumsy a brute to do much on three
legs and I was thus enabled to ma
neuver so as to put a bullet through
his brains
How Mr Bradley came to send an
expedition to the north pole is an in
teresting story in itself Primarily he
did not equip his schooner which later
he turned over to Dr Cook for a
strictly polar expedition of discovery
but having hunted big game in everv
other quarter of the globe and sighing
for other game than lions leopards
tigers and rhinoceroses to conquer he
determined to shoor polar bears seals
and such other game as could be found
along the northern fringe of this con
tinent He wanted sport and Dr
Cook who had become notable as the
first man to conquer Mount McKinley
In Alaska the tallest and bleakest
peak in North America if not in the
western hemisphere went along as a
companion and to make scientific ob
servations I
